[MP for Shipley] Philip Davies has blocked a law that would give carers free parking at hospitals by staging what appears to have been a 90 minute filibuster.

Or in plainer English: there was a proposal in Parliament to allow carers free parking at hospitals which Shipley has put a stop to; not, as any reasonable entity would do, through productive discussion, but by dint of spouting so much crap that progress was drowned in it.

I cannot think of any argument as to why carers ought not to have free parking when they need to go to hospital, let alone a good one... anybody from Shipley like to present a defence?

Well he did speak up for carers, droning on for 90 minutes to deliberately scupper a Labour initiated bill to HELP carers. He has vowed to carry on this odious tradition of filibustering to please his own toxic vanity. Shame on those people of Shipley who put him there to do that.

There's a common theme to this Tory behaviour which they routinely enjoy. On Wednesday, Jeremy Corbyn slapped them down at PMQs, "This is NOT entertainment!"

He fights his campaigns on local issues: improved transport infrastructure, limiting disturbance from the airport and opposing unpopular developments. From that point of view he is the people's choice, the problem is what he does beyond that.

He has been very vocal in his opposition of the proposed new Sainsburys at the top of Saltaire High Street. That is the overwhelming opinion of the locals too.
maybe the voters see him as 'fighting the good fight' on their doorstep and are (unfortunately) unaware of his other political ideals
